No, they are promoting the acquisition of additional revenue just prior to the end of the 2nd quarter. Now doesn't that sound better?  ;D ;D

Yes that sounds much better and i'm sure the type of "wording"

Well, didn't take long for that one to disappear, lol. Add another pink slap to my collection. ;D

I wonder how many sellers who use 3rd party listing services don't see the "full price now, credit next year" fine print and are shocked when their end of month invoice comes?

I'd be NARUed if I did that.
